I know there's some ballistics guy who came up with the theory which lends it like a perfume of authority but it is...the cracked.com explanation for internet wannabe smart guys, not serious people no offense, unless they mean there was a conspiracy beyond lone gunman and they hosed up but the secret service still got him on accident which is also incredibly dumb.

There's something really funny about the idea that all the weird poo poo afterwards is the result of the govt scrambling to cover up the fact that they accidentally blew away a president

Why was there a different coffin, why is the brain missing, why did the secret service get in a standoff with the sheriff's in texas

Because they were freaked out someone would realize they did the opposite of their job

Yeah so agent Gary plugged jfk because we're a bunch of bumble dicked assholes who gave a relatively new agent a brand new gun in a moving vehicle while we drove around with a bullseye painted on the president's big irish head

they've already hosed up beyond belief at their one job

i have a hard time believing that gary and the accompanying fallout is worth doing the insanely sketchy coverup that went down after JFK died, even if it ended with the dissolution of the secret service

i have no problem believing that they knew about oswald but decided that he was too crazy to actually do anything or did the classic 'but he's a veteran, how could he do anything unpatriotic??' gently caress up. sort of a 9/11 situation.

while not impossible, that would be an incredibly lucky shot to panic shoot a head. it would seem more likely that cia would have assets in the secret service directly.

except for me of course, i flick shot 180 heads all the time, but they aren't as skilled as i am and my kdr is 15:1 in battlefield

easily my favorite theory, they either didn't intend to at all or they just wanted a near miss to scare him but he was accidentally too good a shot

also i looked up oswald's wikipedia page and when he defected to the soviets they gave him a free apartment on top of a job, but he was Buttsalt because there was no typical american entertainments, and he wanted to go to moscow state for some reason. what a loser.

the detail about every soviet official he talked to at first being totally confused why he wanted to defect is pretty funny.

It is weird that he'd defect to the USSR, but what's weirder is what happened after he got back to the US. It's was okay that he'd defected and said he was going to give the Russians secrets apparently, nbd.

Heard on a podcast that Oswald was remarked on as a lousy shot both in the air force and in the USSR, don't know if it's true but if so lol.

he was a marine but uh. i dunno about that. i dont have much experience shooting moving targets but it's much further and at smaller targets than ive ever shot at, and his scope was miscalibrated and it only took him 2 shots to correct into a headshot. i'm an average marksman and that's far above my skill level.

I'm probably misremembering stuff, it says on wikipedia that he was actually a pretty good shot when tested as a marine. But there are a lot of strange details in the story of his life up to the assassination.

Coolest thing about jfk stuff is that, when jack ruby was arrested for shooting lee harvey oswald, the feds locked him a room alone with the head of project mkultra and he came out of that room completely incoherent and out of his mind. Fun!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the DMs are people calling a party that is essentially recognized by Duerte as a terrorist organization and have good reason in keeping way low (Hence why their Tolentino statement for TA was seen as remarkable) "shitlibs" for doing a generic Biden endorsement and acknowledgment.
